copied!<p>What you need to do to solve your problem is the following, you have your code to convert back to local time in this order :</p> <pre><code>simpleDateFormatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault()); simpleTimeFormatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault()); Date getDate = simpleDateFormatter.parse(utcDate); Date getTime = simpleTimeFormatter.parse(utcTime); </code></pre> <p>and what you need to do is wait until you parse utcDate, utcTime Strings back to Date Object then set the date formatter time zone to local zone as follows :</p> <pre><code>Date getDate = simpleDateFormatter.parse(utcDate); Date getTime = simpleTimeFormatter.parse(utcTime); simpleDateFormatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault()); simpleTimeFormatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault()); </code></pre> <p>this should print the correct date/time in local.</p> <p>Edit: here is the full main method :</p> <pre><code>public static void main(String[] args) { DateFormat dateFormatter = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT, DateFormat.SHORT, Locale.getDefault()); TimeZone.setDefault(TimeZone.getDefault()); SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); SimpleDateFormat simpleTimeFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss a"); Date today = new Date(); String localeFormattedInTime = dateFormatter.format(today); try { Date parsedDate = dateFormatter.parse(localeFormattedInTime); System.out.println("Locale:" + localeFormattedInTime); System.out.println("After parsing a date: " + parsedDate); simpleDateFormatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault()); simpleTimeFormatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault()); String date = simpleDateFormatter.format(today); String time = simpleTimeFormatter.format(today); System.out.println("Today's only date: " + date); System.out.println("Today's only time: " + time); //// Locale to UTC converting System.out.println("TimeZone.getDefault() >>> " + TimeZone.getDefault()); simpleDateFormatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC")); simpleTimeFormatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC")); String utcDate = simpleDateFormatter.format(today); String utcTime = simpleTimeFormatter.format(today); System.out.println("Convert into UTC's date: " + utcDate); System.out.println("Convert into UTC's only time: " + utcTime); //// UTC to locale converting /** ** //////EDIT */ // at this point your utcDate,utcTime are strings that are formated in UTC // so first you need to parse them back to Dates using UTC format not Locale Date getDate = simpleDateFormatter.parse(utcDate); Date getTime = simpleTimeFormatter.parse(utcTime); // NOW after having the Dates you can change the formatters timezone to your // local to format them into strings simpleDateFormatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault()); simpleTimeFormatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getDefault()); String getLocalDate = simpleDateFormatter.format(getDate); String getLocalTime = simpleTimeFormatter.format(getTime); System.out.println("Get local date: " + getLocalDate); System.out.println("Get local time: " + getLocalTime); } catch (ParseException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } </code></pre>
